I went a completely different direction then I initially planned, originally I was going to make a card. I was digging through my stack of papers I have with addresses and the light bulb went on, yea!! I have been wanting a new system for a while and I finally did it!! I decided to use the colors in the cookies and was able to incorporate most of them!! I started out with 8 1/2 x 11 chipboard and cut it in half, I stamped the vines from Theresa's set Autumn Beauty with Versamark and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder on Gina's gorgeous Ocean Mist cardstock. I have had these chipboard letters for quite a while, played around with them to see what looked best and applied. I then took this pretty flower from Nina's set Lovely Shelf, colored with copics, added Crystal Effects to the vase and Christmas Red Stickles to the center of the flowers. I didn't take a photo but on the inside I printed out sheets for name, address, phone, etc. and started filling in the information!! Finally I used my Bind-It-All to put it together. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the hop!!
